I'd like to push this task in order to start working in things we mentioned in the BOF. If you think it's worth I can put it in the wiki (where?) to discuss it. MISSION Ease and optimize the involvement of people through the website TARGETS - normal users and newbies wanting to know about GNOME - advanced users wanting to contribute to the project (not only programmers, other skills too) - GNOME contributors, offering them a broader vision of the community and tools to involve friends OBJECTIVES (first hint of the Path to Enlightment) :) - More users of free GTK applications running on proprietary desktops - More GNOME users coming from proprietary desktops and the linux world - More contributors to the various aspects of the GNOME project - More sense of community and 'GNOME proud' STRATEGY - A common, clear and basic message about "What is GNOME", "What can GNOME do for/with you" and "Why the GNOME community is a good place for free software fans". - Message and artifacts specific to proprietary desktop users: taste GNOME without installing it through screenshots, artworks, tours, demos, CDLive and great free GTK applications for proprietary operative systems. - Look for the more inclusive concept of "contributors" rather than the more restricted term "developers". - Make sure programmers understand why GNOME is a great platform and community to develop software, where the help is needed and how to start contributing. - Make sure that all willing contributors but non-programmers understand as well that there is a place for them and a plenty of exciting things to do and share. - Consequent improvements on navigation and contents in gnome.org as a work-in-progress, based on small and continous steps rather than waiting for the big milestones.
